We've been on talktalk's 11mbps deal for years. It's costing us £35 per month. As long as it worked we didn't pay any attention to other deals. But recently talktalk have been giving us really low speeds, sometimes as low as 1mbps. So finally, I looked for a new deal. At first I checked talktalk and found they were offering fast broadband at 60mbps for £26. I selected the deal only to find that they added on £17 worth of unwanted extras which I couldn't remove. I could have phoned them up to get the £26 deal, but I knew that they'd probably waste an hour of my time trying to up-sell me. So that was it, we switched ISP. Suddenly talktalk were contacting us, offering us new deals as low as £21. But too late, we're never going back to talktalk. Ironically, if they'd just given us the 11mbps we were paying for they could have kept on charging us over the odds for a few more years. |

Awful service. First time user, box got sent with no leads or connectors. Nearly 3 weeks without a service and got offered £5 compensation. The lady on the phone was extremely rude, talking down to me! I’m pregnant and do not need the added stress of this terrible company and staff! |

I dont know why it took me so long. After 25 years I am leaving due to their abysmal customer service and broadband which is much slower than I am paying for. Even though I have already left Talktalk still insists on one months notice and I am not happy with that since I was not getting the service as described and not compensated. Right now I am still paying them and using my new suppliers service. You are currently unable to speak to customer services as they have obviously reduced their support team. Why? You also cannot communicate via their chat app as it fails, and I would have quit much sooner if I could have. Finally I had to put in a formal complaint before anyone responded. Too little too late. |

TalkTalk Business installed a business line in my new premises. During the transfer of my existing phone number they messed it up resulting in all my lines and net access being cut off. They said a week to restore it!!!! This is talktalk mistake but I am picking up the full cost that could potentially run into tens of thousands of pounds. No phones, no email, no SIP trunks! In the middle of a global pandemic as if business isnt already hard enough! I was promised a call back within 8hrs (i kid you not!) from a “manager” to discuss my query, and guess what....they never called me back. DO NOT take any service with talk talk. You will be read pre scripted lines at customer service. You will here “i understand” and “im sorry” dozens of times which in itself is extremely frustrating because believe me they have zero understanding of the dire consequences for a small business for this to happen! They will do absolutely nothing to help you out of a situation they have caused. Avoid like the plague and go with a telco who will move heaven and earth to fix a situation they created and understand this type of mistake can sink a business very quickly. |

Never never sign up with this company. I've tried cancelling THREE times and they can't bloody manage it. The third time I called, I asked to speak to someone else and the rep had the audacity to put me on indefinitely hold until it went back to the intro message. |

Talk Talk is an absolute disgrace. |

For £40 a month I was getting 10mps download speed and 600kps upload speed. Overpriced and the most unreliable network. When you phone up your on the phone for at least an hour. |

After 3 years of complaining and reporting issue with line’s reliability and speed I can say whole heartedly that this is one of the laziest,incompetent,false help, could not care less company I came across in my 8year living in London. Promised a lot of things and did nothing actually. Not only the internet is slow (3mbp) but it drops out every day, someday even 10-15times (if I care to be bothered with it that long). Have to use mobile data, which makes the home broadband absolutely useless. No refund, because you have to file a report for 12 consecutive months in order to get a refund and I only had 11 months registered. This company makes no sense to me, since they don’t own lines they renting it which means they can’t do **** about your line problem. When BT decided to upgrade then and only then you can get your fiber cable. Hyperoptic has already done it in 2 years and they were nowhere in this area 2-3 years ago and still they managed to get things done. It is a shame to be part of this and experience something like this. Rip off and unprofessional. That’s my experience with this “company” |

Only manage to get 10Mbps average for super fast broadband. Trying to get hold of Customer Services is impossible. |

I have been cut off every three months in an 18 month contract. In between I receive intermittent connectivity on a line that can only deliver speeds up to 5mbps anyway. |

I was a new customer, I never recieved any Broadband service and TalkTalk said they had sent me a faulty router but if I paid £25 they would send another. I refused, and demanded a manger explain why they demand money to replace faulty goods in contravention of the sale of goods act 2015. No manager called me back so I cancelled as is my right under the same act. Now they want to bill me, well I will happily see them in court, I had exactly the same problem with BT 8 years ago and won that case so in addition to the new stronger act, I also have case law on my side. Avoid TalkTalk they are just money grubbing charlatans and will get nothing from me except the contemp they deserve. |

Since I have been with Talk Talk all they have done is stress me out by adding money whenever they want, can't get through to them by phone email or letter. My bill is meant to be £23 a month it's £89 for some reason there adding charges that I don't no about. It's out of order. Advisable don't go with them. BUNCH OF PRICKS ✌️ |

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. |

| Ed | Bromsgrove | TalkTalk | 2020-06-16 | |
Was with them for 2 years really bad internet connection cUt off loads of times and had to reset which didnt always work so had to phone up and get then to fix. I got an out standing balance of £10 on final bill which I wasnt informed off found out 3 months later and they added a charge of £12.50 per month making the outstanding £47.50. Good customer services on the phone is only positive. |

Who ever reads this needs to know that “Talk Talk” can destroy any bodies credit rating even though they are not a customer of theirs!!! Back in May 2020 I was looking at broadband deals via uswitch, Talk Talk was one of the providers that had popped up so I wanted to know which broadband package they could offer me in my local area. After only filling in my landline number and post code as required on their main website I wasn’t happy with what they had to offer me, and so I had decided to go with another provider. Then in June I had received notification from Equifax that Talk Talk had done a hard search on my background and had affected my credit rating by 74%, (even though I am no customer of theirs) I had emailed Talk Talk as advised by Equifax as companies should only be doing hard searches when applying for credit. A few weeks later I had heard nothing back, and so I’d decided to let Uswitch know about the situation and to help warn other users about Talk Talk checks. The next day I had received an email from Uswitch saying that they would raise the second complaint for me. Now in July 2020 I have still not received any response from Talk Talk, but not only that Equifax has noticed me again telling me that Talk Talk had the audacity to do another hard search which has yet again affected my credit rating by another 74%!!! What’s even funnier is that I cannot even complain to the ombudsman as TalkTalk isn’t signed up to their scheme, so they can’t review anyones complaints. If you are looking to join Talk Talk I would think very seriously before giving them your home landline and address!!! |

My name is Melek and I am 89 years old, this message is being written by my grandson, I would like to let everyone know that Talk Talk is stealing money from me. I pay them 50 pounds a month for phone and Internet and the phone is bad and the Internet doesn't work. They have stolen from me before also and apologied for it and are still doing it again. My grandson has called them many times (Talk Talk has recorded phone lines to confirm this) and yet they say they will call back to discuss it and they never do. They have now taken 150 pounds from me in the last three months without providing me with the service I paid for. All I am getting is a noisy phone line and Internet speeds of 1.5mbs which cuts on and off every 2 mins. Please please do not use Talk Talk as a provider and if someone can help me I would appreciate it. Thank you. |

I've been trying to contact customer service for over a month by direct chat or by phone, each time the same answer, too busy, really bad. The technician to install my box it works, but it has to pass the cable through the window, and in front of the house, it is really not good, it was to come the following week, I am no news. Do something! One month that I cannot close my window, you are incredible! |

This company is taking full subs every month, but is not providing customer service or anyway of contacting them.Its using covid-19 as the excuse. They have no face to face contact with the public there should be no issue with staffing. |

4 years ago my TalkTalk was not at reliable. They sent an engineer who tuned the line and everything has been perfect since. The visit should have been free because there was no fault my end but they did charge me. However I rang them up, they admitted the mistake and refunded immediately. Be polite and understanding - we all make mistakes. I don't normally ring them I use their message service - again just be polite and patient and they will sort everything out. When my contract is up I message them and they sort out the best price without having to haggle (unlike Virgin). I've renewed my contract 3 times now and each time the price has got cheaper - they are very competitive. They also guarantee no price rises during your contract. |

Never get anywhere near the 35Mb speed that they claim is available. |

| Alex | Oakham | TalkTalk | 2020-06-05 | |
Absolutely shocking. Often went down and no explanation or compensation. I finally cancelled as am moving out of my flat and gave them 3 weeks notice, which the rep confirmed it would actually need to be 30 days notice, which was fine. They cancelled my service that day, so now have no wifi and given covid and being stuck at home it. When I complained they said I woudl have to sign up on a new sales contract even though was their fault. Would never use them again. |

I've been dealing with this company for over 2 months, the broadband speed isnt what i'm paying for its lower, after two external openreach engineers and one that came into the house my line from the box right up to the router is perfect, so from the router out why isnt it the same, i'll answer that, because talktalk are reducing it, i get sometimes 5 times a day of no internet, its suppose to be 60-80 i'm lucky to get 50, i've emailed the ceo more times than i'd email my best friend, all i get back is excuses and apologies, told them i dont want apologies i want the speed i'm paying for, i do my own speed tests with ookla, i'll do a talktalk test the speed will obviously say 63 for example, then ookla and it says 43, who do i believe, ookla obviously, the mornings when the engineers are due the speeds rise until the engineer has gone back to his van and spent 5 minutes putting in his report then my speed drops again, its so obvious its embarrassing, talktalk just chat ****, i've had enough, i'm sick of them, i was told today not to shout down the phone, well sorry but keep sending fools to speak to me and i'll just get crosser, once again today i was told we'll do a couple of tests and call you back, that was 3 hours ago and still no call, i want someone sensible to speak to not a talktalk robot, i've got a notebook full of data, ombudsman next i think because this is just total rubbish, i hope talktalk read this but i know they dont care. |

I was recently waiting a month to receive a replacement for the router because broken down just after few days of use. Do a favour to your self and stay away of this company. Also I forgot to mention the broadband speed had all the time problems. I switched now to vod.... and is amazing the difference!!! |

| Stylianos Deligiannis | Essex | TalkTalk | 2020-06-04 | |
Appalling service , no internet for 10 days , engineer out twice , three different routers and still no idea why we didn’t have any internet ! So after numerous calls could not give me an answer. I have just cancelled my policy . AVOID |

| Megan Bennett | Bargoed | TalkTalk | 2020-06-03 | |
Several weeks without broadband or landline, completely useless, have also tried blocking another provider from taking over. Have taken up with ombudsman and will also be taking them to court over non service whilst still charging me. Avoid |

Worst customer service you'll ever experience |
| |||
| David | Kent | TalkTalk | 2020-06-02 | |
Continual breaks in service and slow speed, virtually impossible to contact technical support or customer services. Had to send four letters to achieve any response and when I invoked my right to cancel, they tried to charge early cancellation fee! |
